Personal Review: Wristwatch Annual 2009: The Catalog of
Producers, Prices, Models, and Specifications
I get the Wristwatch Annual every few years, changes are slow enough
that I don't feel it necessary to buy every year. There are some
organizational oddities in these volumes including putting contact info for
the manufacturers in the back, a glossary in the front, and some hit or miss
choices of watches to feature. That said, this is the go-to book for what is
currently being manufactured in the way of quality wristwatches. Be aware
that actually getting some of the watches, regardless of your financial
status, is harder than it may seem. Many of the most interesting watches
are sold out, or have long waiting lists.
